Little Fish for Someone Special
A while back my dear bloggy friend Lara sent me a quilt top, two matching fabrics and another matching charm pack. She was having a clear out and getting rid of things that made her feel guilty. Oh you know the feeling do you? Yes, me too. I told her I would finish the quilt and donate it to a charity. Well surprise, surprise Lara, it's finally done!!!
And it's so cute too! I love the Moda Odyssey range of fabrics. I think a little boy in Christchurch is going to love snuggling up in his new quilt, don't you?
It's not that big, but big enough for a little lad and his teddy. I'm sure it would look wonderful on a wooden cot too.
I went for wavy quilting lines as I thought it looked suitably sea-like for the little fishes. A bit of a breakaway from my usual stippling. Way quicker too, especially as I didn't measure the distance between each line. It's fairly even I think.
A little label was made on my fab little machine...
and then stitched onto the dotty quilt back. I really love the backing fabric. It's just a cheapy from Spotlight but it goes well. And next week when I meet up with Cat I will pass it onto her, to accompany her to Christchurch.
Thank you Lara for helping me make this quilt for someone special. xxx

I am so glad you are sending it there..I was reading a couple of blogs the other day written by residents there and realised they need a lot of lovin' still! Your quilt is delightful..any little boy will be rapt to receive it.
The quilt is just perfect for a little boy and his teddy. You have done a lovely job Sarah.

Hullo Sarah, oh I have just been catching up on your recent blog posts. We are home now, and I am back visiting all these wonderful blogs again. This quilt is just lovely and again you are such a gem to be making so much for little ones that have lost everything. The colours are beautiful and I do love the wavy fishy lines you have made. Your Meadow quilt fabrics are just lovely and the doilies complete it. Looking forward to seeing this lovely creation put together soon. As for your cleaning, I love that you love natural products also. I do not purchase those stinky chemically expensive products either. Lemon, bi carb soda, vinegar and water rule at our place too, from cleaning bathrooms, to windows, to air freshener, and mopping floors. we use nothing else. Have a wonderful weekend at your place, and its wonderful to be back in touch again.
Sarah, you are just a complete sweetheart - always thinking of others. I admire both your amazing crafty talents and your neverending generosity and kindness. This quilt will bring some little person so much joy and comfort. Well done. xxx
A beautiful quilt, a piece of treasure I think. Bettyx
